SAFETY ATTACHMENT FOR- RAZORS.

Application filed November 6, 1924.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SEBERO J ASO, a citizen of the Republic of Mexico,residing at San Antonio, in the county of BeXa-r andState of Texas, haveinvented certain newand useful Improvements in Safety Attachments forRazors, of which the following is a specilication.

This invention relates to razors, having more particular reference to asafety attachment adapted for application to an ordinary razor, theinvention having for an object the provision of a simple and eflicientsafety attachment of this sort, a further specific object of theinvention relating to the provision of means of adjusting the attachmentto suit blades of varying width.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawing, and t the appended claims in which the variousnovel features of the invention are more particularly set-forth.

Fig. l of the drawing is a side View of a razor having my improvedattachment applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on the line 2--2of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view taken on the line3-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a face view, showing the opposite face to that shown in Fig.1.

In the drawing the reference numeral indicates the blade of an ordinaryrazor, and 11 the handle to which the blade is hinged. My improveddevice comprises a channeled strip 12 that is adapted to be slipped overthe back of the blade, fitting snugly against the latter, the legs 12and 12 of this strip being of less height than the width of the blade,the legs 12 supporting the adjustable guard element. This adjustableguard element comprises an elongated plate 15 that is formed on one edgewith serrations 16, this serrated edge projecting slightly beyond thecutting edge of the blade 10 as indicated. Formed on the leg 12 of themember 12 is a channeled rib 18 that is spaced a slight distance fromthe web portion of said member, and which may be conveniently formed bydoubling the sheet material of which the member is formed upon itself.The rear edge of the plate 15 is normally spaced slightly in front ofthis Serial No. 748,041.

rib 18 and has hinged thereto as at 19 a screw 20 that projects throughsuitable registcring apertures 21 in the two walls of the rib, andthrough a nut 22 positioned in the said rib between the two walls thereof, the nut projecting at one side from the rib, the latter having aslotted aperture 23 therein through which the nut projects.

Formed on the forward edge of the leg 12 f the member 12 is a bracket 25to which is hinged a screw 26 that extends freely through an aperture 27in the plate 15, and has a nut 28 threaded in its free end. Fixed eachat one end to the said forward edge of the leg 12 are two fiat springs30 which hear at their other ends on the plate 15. The device is appliedto the razor by slipping the member 12 lengthwise over the blade, andthen tightening the nut 28 to cause the serrated edge of the guard 15 tobear against the blade adjacent the cutting edge of the latter. Byturning the nut 22 the plate or guard 15 may be moved transversely ofthe blade, thus accommodating itself to the blade as the latterdecreased in width through sharpening.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire toprotect by Letters Patent of the United States is as follows 1. A safetyattachment for razors, comprising a channeled member adapted to bemounted on the blade of the razor, a guard plate extending across oneleg of said member and having an aperture therein, a screw hinged to therear edge of said guard plate, a nut through which said screw isthreaded, said nut being mounted on said member to permit of rotationthereof but prevent axial movement thereof, and means for pressing thefront edge of said guard plate against the blade of the razor.

2. A safety attachment for razors comprising a channeled member adaptedto be mounted on the blade of the razor, a guard plate extending acrossone leg of said member and having an aperture therein, a screw hinged tothe rear edge of said guard plate, a nut through which said screwv isthreaded, said nut being mounted on said member to permit of rotationthereof but prevent axial movement thereof, and means for pressing thefront edge of said guard plate against the blade of the razor,consisting of a screw hinged to said member and passing through a holein the said plate,

and a nut threaded on said screw and bearing on said plate.

3. A safety attachment for razors comprising a channeled member adaptedfor mounting on the blade of the razor, a channeled rib extending alongone side of said member, a nut positioned between the walls of said rib,a screw threaded through said nut, a guard plate to which said screw ishinged, a second screw hinged to said member and passing through anaperture in the plate, and a nut threaded on said screw.

-l. A safety attachment for razors comprising a channeled member adaptedfor mounting on the blade of the razor, a channeled rib extending alongone side of said member, a nut positioned between the walls of said rib,a scr w threaded through said nut, a guard plate to which said screw ishinged, a second screw hinged to said men'iber and passing through anaperture in the plate, and a nut threaded on said screw, and a pair ofsprings fixed to said channeled member and bearing on said guard plateto urge the latter away from the blade of the razor.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature.

SEBERO JASO.
